Slow-roast(1h)

Scrub sweet potatoes, prick with a fork. Place directly on the oven rack (put a foil-lined tray underneath to catch drips). Bake at 400°F for 50-60 min until the skin is wrinkled and caramelized syrup is oozing out. The interior should be molten-soft.

Pro Tips for Western Kitchens

Japanese sweet potatoes (the purple-skinned ones) are dramatically sweeter than orange ones. Trader Joe's carries them.
